[SU] 1999 NHSDA Available on FastTrack

[JoAnne McFarland O'Rourke]

*** The 1999 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is now 
available from FastTrack at: 
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/SAMHDA/fasttrack.html. Studies on FastTrack are 
provided in "as is" condition in order to allow access to the files while 
they undergo full processing. The 1999 NHSDA on FastTrack includes the data 
as a SAS system file and the codebook in Word Perfect.

We anticipate releasing the fully processed NHSDA file in January through 
the archive and the online analysis system. The full release will include 
an updated version of the codebook that has a variable map to assist users 
in determining associations between interview questions and different types 
of variables (raw, edited, and recoded). The public use file does not 
contain state identifiers.

*** The Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study is now 
available from our online analysis system: 
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/cgi-bin/SDA12/hsda?samhda+hbsc.
